"Quick, bring some refreshments," another voice said while Layn slowly pried his eyes open.
"Where am I?" he asked as soon as he gathered enough energy to open his mouth.
"Don't worry about anything. We might not be in the capital, but this fortress is safe," Castor said as soon as he pushed the doors to the room open.
